Arf! Gracie here.<\/p>\n
My mom Cathy finally did something sensible. She went to an author reading at Elliott Bay Bookstore where she heard a talk by Arden Moore, a cat and dog behavior specialist. The event featured Arden’s cat book but Arden talked about dogs too.<\/p>\n
Arden even blogged about my mom Cathy and my roommate Tiger:

Actually Tiger is a grump. You know what they call female dogs? That’s what somebody should call Tiger. That cat sleeps on a special cushion on my mom’s bed. She’s 18 and still jumps up on the counter to eat her dinner.<\/p>\n
Then there’s my other feline roommate, Creampuff, whose name accurately describe the consistency of her brain.<\/p>\n
My mom adores them. They were here first.<\/p>\n
The best part of the day was I got to spend 4 hours in the Downtown Dog Lounge on Bell Street, hanging out with my favorite dogs. The worst was when my mom came to pick me up. I could tell she had been listening to a dog trainer. She had that gleam in her eye that said, “We mean business.”<\/p>\n
“Gracie, sit!” she said firmly when a motorcycle went by. Ditto for a skateboard.<\/p>\n
Sigh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
